"Jindan?" Yan Zheke's brows furrowed slightly, her gaze confused. Shortly after, her eyes widened as she blurted out, "Longhu Immortal's Jindan?"
"Yes." Lou Cheng nodded. As he recalled, he described, "It seems to have really spread and merged with the 'Origin'. However, it still maintains a connection with each other and has an independent and complete structure. It seems to have expanded and blurred many times, becoming a parasitic 'object' of the 'Human Body Big Dan'. Only when I use Force Concentration to gather all my Essence, Qi, Spirit, and Willpower can it temporarily collapse and return to its original state. You can see it now."
"That's amazing …" Yan Zheke sighed subconsciously. She then pondered for a moment before asking, "Then can you affect it now? Can you use the Confrontation Formula to stimulate it? "
If he didn't have the Jindan back then, Cheng's sequela would most likely be related to overexertion and the deficit of the 'Origin'. He wouldn't have suffered from the frequent attacks of 'Freezing' and 'Burning' …
I wonder which condition would be easier to recover from …
"Confrontation Formula? How can I use the Confrontation Formula when I'm balancing my Jindan? "asked Lou Cheng in amusement.
However, just as he finished speaking, a thought flashed through his mind. He suddenly had an idea. He paused for a moment and said,
"Uh, it's not like there's really no way …"
My Jindan is different from other martial artists. I can maintain it for quite some time!
As soon as he thought of it, he lowered his waist and raised his hands to form the Confrontation Formula. Following that, he withdrew his Qi and blood, sank his spirit, and gathered his Force. He gathered all his senses into a single point. Ice and fire circled around it, rotating steadily.
This point was like a boundless starry sky. It was pitch-black and cold, with the Great Sun as the star. Just like the real universe, each had its own function, maintaining a delicate balance. It slowly expanded until the end.
Inside the universe, a cluster of nebulas gathered and "manifested". The ice crystals were dazzling and scorching. It was the Jindan of the Longhu Immortal.
While in the state of Force Concentration, Lou Cheng couldn't maintain the state of All Seeing God. His will, or rather, his consciousness, had become a part of the Human Body Big Dan and shrunk into the Boundless Starry Sky. However, with the help of Encountering Gods in the Void, he allowed his consciousness to rise to the peak of the universe. Looking down at everything from above, he controlled his Qi, blood, spirit, and Ice and Fire Force to change the layout of darkness and light. Stroke by stroke, he outlined the ancient and profound Confrontation character!
The appearance of the "Confrontation" character, which purified the mind and body, connected with the pre-arranged hand seal and instantly evoked the mystery.
Right at this moment, the Golden Core suddenly trembled and rippled. The stars rotated and similarly formed a "Confrontation" word, the "Confrontation" word that was located at the core!
Buzz buzz buzz! Dazzling light turned into a brush and wrote another Dao technique. The content of the words was very familiar to Lou Cheng. It was the First Part of the Cultivation Techniques that he had been studying recently.
At the same time, the other six spots of the Jindan also had dazzling lights surrounding the "Confrontation" word. They wanted to form a whole, but they were still a little short. However, Lou Cheng felt that his connection with the Jindan had strengthened a little.
Feeling discomfort in his body, he didn't force it. After memorizing it for a while, he released the Human Body Big Dan and felt the surge of strength. He felt the long-awaited invincibility.
In the blink of an eye, an icy chill surged and numbed his legs.
This was already a daily occurrence for Lou Cheng. He didn't care about the stiffness. Shivering from the cold, he smiled at Yan Zheke.
"I can really activate it! And I even spat out the opening chapter! If not for your reminder, I wouldn't even have thought of trying it! "
"You're welcome! This is the job of a coach! "Yan Zheke raised her head delightedly.
"Phew. When the Nine Words Formula is complete and forms a whole, there will most likely be some changes. Even if it doesn't help me resolve the aftereffects, just the deepening of the connection will give me an opportunity to digest it." Lou Cheng moved his legs that had recovered and said, "I'll try again and memorize the opening chapter completely."
He rested for a while and tried again. With the help of Little Fairy, he gradually replicated the opening chapter of the Longhu Immortal's original version of the technique.
"It's a little different from the one I got from Ge Hui …" Yan Zheke pressed her right index finger to her lower lip. She was half puzzled and half guessing.
"That's normal. Martial arts have been improving for so many years. Cultivators don't have to take the words of their predecessors as a reference that can never be wrong." Lou Cheng chuckled.
"I feel like you're insulting someone …" The girl pursed her lips and smiled.
Lou Cheng thought for a few seconds and said, "Let's study it later and see what's different. Think about the meaning and logic of such a change. Maybe we can understand something by analogy."
"Okay!" Yan Zheke nodded obediently. Immediately after, she asked with dimples, "Why not now?"
"I have to temper my Emperor Yan Force and Ice Spirit Force. At the same time, I have to do some data collection to see if I can find a pattern." Lou Cheng didn't hide his thoughts.
"What pattern?" Yan Zheke was confused.
Lou Cheng paused and said,
"I've been recording all this time to see if there's a correlation between the frozen or burning parts and the way and position of my movements."
"Even if I find a solution to this aftereffect, it might take a year and a half to completely eliminate it. During such a long time, I can't guarantee that there won't be any accidents. Therefore, I want to do my best to recover some of my combat strength in advance."
"Ke Ke, think about it. If I can figure out the pattern and determine how many times the 'Ice Spirit Force' will cause the 'cold' backlash, and how many times the 'Emperor Yan Force' will cause the 'burning' effect, and where it will affect. Is it the hands, the feet, or half of the body? Then I can design and control it in advance to avoid triggering the hindrance of the whole body. I can use the parts affected by the sequela as external weapons and change the way I fight …"
"This way, even if I face an opponent of the same level, I won't be insta-killed, and I won't be bullied when I'm down …"
Yan Zheke listened to Lou Cheng's tireless description of his aftereffects and the countermeasures he planned to make without any negative emotions. He was methodical, gentle, and calm. Suddenly, she felt that her Cheng had become a real man, from his body to his heart. In the face of danger and setbacks, he didn't cover his eyes with anger and didn't cover his heart with fear. He carried the responsibility and moved forward steadily like a rock.
Her eyes deepened and gradually brightened. She watched as Lou Cheng set up his stance and struck out with force. Sometimes it was interrupted by the Cold Backlash, and sometimes it was tightened by the Burning Effect, but he never stopped.
Beads of sweat rolled down his face. Lou Cheng had just recovered and didn't dare to practice too much. He stopped his moves and exhaled.
"Ice Spirit Force will cause the Burning Effect twice, and Emperor Yan Force will cause the Freezing Effect twice. If I use them alternately, I can last a total of four times. The final force will be the standard, but the effect will spread throughout the whole body … This is a normal punch and kick. I'll try it tomorrow and see how it works with the Fire Sect and Ice Sect Dan Stage secret arts … If I don't use force, I can't find the pattern yet …"
Yan Zheke pursed her lips and smiled faintly. "It feels like a qualitative or quantitative experiment."
"Actually, it's more or less the same." Lou Cheng recovered from the burning pain of his flesh and blood. He smiled and walked into the house to wash his body.
It was just four o 'clock and the sky was bright. It was still early for dinner. The couple retreated into the bedroom and began to compare the opening chapter left by Longhu Immortal with Ge Hui's cultivation method. They discussed the principles behind every improvement.
This didn't mean that the "present" would definitely win against the "past". It was just that if there were no powerful beings at the beginning of the universe and no "origin" creatures that understood all the rules, then it would be normal for the present to win against the past!
Yan Zheke was already a beginner in cultivation, so she was very interested in this. After she finished her research, she continued to talk to Lou Cheng about similar issues. She felt like she couldn't stop, so she didn't notice that he was gradually distracted. Until a hand circled around her waist and reached under her clothes.
The girl turned her head blankly and blurted out,
"We haven't had dinner yet!"
She knew that Cheng was in a good mood today, just like herself. She also knew that he had been holding it in for more than three months, both physically and emotionally. However, she expected to cooperate with him before going to bed. Who knew …
This hooligan!
"It's still early … just past five … Which day do we … not eat at seven?" Lou Cheng kept kissing the girl's slender and beautiful neck as his right hand slowly moved up.
"It's broad daylight!" Yan Zheke "scolded" with her cheeks slightly red.
Lou Cheng strode out and pulled the curtains, filling the room with darkness. He then turned around and smiled.
"It's dark."
"…" Yan Zheke didn't know what to say. She was going to argue for a bit more, but when she saw Lou Cheng's stiff and sluggish steps, her heart softened. She bit her lips and snorted. She turned her head to the side and let her husband hug her body. She took the initiative to reach out her hand to cooperate.
…
During dinner, Lou Cheng lowered his head to eat. From time to time, he would receive angry glares from his little fairy beside him. She was radiant and beautiful, but she would occasionally frown.
Life seemed to be on the right track again. These days lasted until the couple's winter vacation.
At this time, there were more and more people in Lou Cheng's "Cultivation Preschool" who had entered meditation. They had also adjusted their techniques to the point where there weren't many problems. Of course, George and the others wouldn't be able to achieve Force Concentration and Dan Equilibrium without more than a year of practice.
Before returning to Xiushan, Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke went to the military base again. As usual, they tested the data and contributed blood. As usual, there were no research results.
"But I have good news for you." The military tech geek pushed his glasses up.
"What good news?" Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke asked in unison.
The military personnel took out a silver bracelet with a pendant and said,
"Following Ge Hui's lead, we found the Formation Formula!"
